12:02 pm
minimally invasive surgical procedure where they removed part or all of the prostate later in december, the secretary was then hospitalized last week with complications from that procedure. the pentagon has been facing criticism for not disclosing the hospital stay for several days. joining us now nbc news national security and global affairs dan deluise and dr. kavita patel. dan, first, the pentagon press secretary, what did he say about this diagnosis, give us all the details that we just learned? >> so, now, eight days into the hospital stay that the secretary of defense has been in, we finally found out today what his diagnosis was, he had prostate cancer as you said, he was treated in december but then he
12:03 pm
came down with pain in his legs and his abdomen, he had to go back, he had an urinary tract infection that was treated. but 3 1/2 days later, the white house finally found out that he had been in the hospital and that event the deputy defense secretary she found two days later. all these unanswered questions about why the secretary and his staff chose not to inform the white house and the public about his situation, now the pentagon is saying they're conducting a review to look at the proedz seed yours. still it's not clear for example when the president found out about this diagnosis and it's still not clear why they just chose not to share this information. the pentagon does say, kate, though, the secretary at no point was under general

12:05 pm
it did seem like for all intents and purposes based on what we know this was a pretty routine procedure and what we look after a prostate -- where part of the prostate is removed, we look at the following four to six weeks for any of these complications, it include infection, bleeding, rare complications, until we get more information we don't know, but certainly within that time frame after a procedure upon finding out you have prostate cancer and because of screening we do pick this up early. >> dr. patel, some details that i don't want to get into all of the details because some of them are kind of goy. he had an urinary tract infection, problems with his small intestine, that sounds to me like a pretty, you know, a real complication and they do
12:06 pm
say in statement we anticipate a full recovery although this can be a small process. >> kate, just having an infection and this is an area where the intestines, there are so many elements close to this, after that procedure which is very common that there was a bit of a rare complication and now it's almost like the clock gets reset, you'll have to watch for the improvement from the complications to clear with antibiotics. all of these things are things we see not common with everyone who has a prostatectomy. the icu hospitalization makes it sound like something got very
12:07 pm
complicated and that's exactly what i think you're referencing. >> serious health complications and serious concerns about national security given his position. there are new and concerning revelations today about the aircraft taken out of service after alaska airlines made had that mid-flight emergency, the planes in question are the boeing 737 max 9s, they're under faa orders not to fly until they pass investigations. they're examining evidence from the alaska airlines that fell out. >> on the edge of the patio, i discovered this headrest. i'm like, that's weird. >> number one comment, this phone lands from an airplane 16,000 feet up and it's fine.

12:09 pm
decompression explosion friday night. >> reporter: forcing the crew to make an emergency landing back in portland. while seat cushions, headrests and cell phones were all sucked out of the plane, on monday, the ntsb recovered the door plug in portland where it landed, in the backyard of a high school physics teacher. >> when i went to investigate it, it was very obviously part of a plane. >> reporter: now the question, could more planes be at risk? does that suggest this could be a wider problem? >> that's too soon to tell. we are very focused on what we are investigating with respect to this aircraft. >> reporter: the ntsb says on three previous flights, pressurization warning lights lit up in the same cockpit. yet, alaska only restricted that plane from flying over water to hawaii until technicians could evaluate the problem. it is not clear if they were related to the explosion. in a statement, boeing
